On Thursday (August 22), the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced the fixture list for the home summer of 2025. England Men will play West Indies, Zimbabwe, India and South Africa while England Women will take on West Indies and India in white-ball series that will run parallel to the men's matches against the same opposition.

England Men's one-off Test against Zimbabwe will mark the first time in over twenty years that the visitors will visit England. It is also significant thanks to the touring fee the ECB will pay to Zimbabwe.

The most eagerly-anticipated part of the England Men's schedule is the five-Test series against India. India last visited England in 2021, when they played four of the five scheduled matches in the series before the final one was played a year later due to a Covid-19 scare. The series was drawn 2-2, after the first match ended in a draw.

During the Test matches, England Women will play India in five T20Is and three ODIs. Another significant fixture that has been confirmed is a Test between England Women and India at Lord's in the summer of 2026, making it the first-ever women's Test at the Home of Cricket.
